Chapter 673: A Very Trenched Rebel

The rebels flocked to flee into the city.

The cavalry and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty pursued and killed in the rear.

Some of the rebels escaped the moat, and by this time, Han Yi had already fled into the city.

He stood on the city tower, looked at the battle situation below, and after his eyebrows froze, he immediately ordered: "Pull up the drawbridge!" ”

Hearing that the suspension bridge was going to be pulled, the expressions of several lieutenants next to him moved slightly.

"General, we still have a lot of soldiers who haven't escaped back."

"Pull up the drawbridge!" Han Yi's words could not be refuted, he knew very well that if he didn't pull up the suspension bridge, when the Tang family also rushed over, then this Dangyang City would really not be able to defend it.

Now in this situation, I can only survive with a broken arm.

He had no choice but to abandon the rebels who had not fled.

The drawbridge was pulled up, the moat was very long, directly blocked the Tang army outside the moat, as the rebels fled into the city, the city gate was also closed, above the tower, the rebels' sharp arrows flew in, preventing the Tang army from continuing to advance.

And at this time, the rebels who failed to escape into the city were dumbfounded.

They were suddenly a little lost, a little sad, they were abandoned by their general.

They were abandoned, and at the same time there was a sense of betrayal, as if they had sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy, which was simply a joke.

The Mad Demon Army is still harvesting, and now the rebels have completely lost their resistance.

However, at this time, Qin Tian suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop." ”

The Mad Demon Army was killing the enemy, but after Qin Tian gave an order, they still stopped.

The rebels were surrounded, they were a little desperate, they knew that they were facing death, and that they could die at any time.

"Benhou knows that you are all refugees, rebels who have taken refuge in order to make a living, but now, as long as you are willing to surrender to the imperial court, Benhou will spare your lives and give you food, if you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded."

After hearing Qin Tian's words, these already desperate refugees' expressions suddenly moved, and then someone stood up: "Surrender, I surrender......"

When one person surrenders, everyone else follows suit.

The rebels, probably a few hundred people, all surrendered.

Qin Tian nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered someone to take them away and take them in, and at the same time, he ordered someone to clean up the battlefield.

Although it was outside Dangyang City, the Tang army did not have the slightest scruples, they took away the rebels' blades or something, and the rebels on the city tower looked distressed, but they were helpless.

After the blades were taken away, the Tang army returned to the camp, and at this time, it was already before dusk.

It was still very bright, and the heat was fading, and the cicadas that had stopped at some point suddenly rang out.

Qin Tian took Hu Eighteen and them to check those blades, and Hu Eighteen, Qin Wu and the others had obviously discovered something unusual.

"Master Hou, these rebels are so rich." Qin Wu couldn't help but say, Qin Tian smiled: "You also found out, right?" I really didn't expect that these rebels were just a tribe composed of refugees, but Li Hedong, the king of Chu, actually assigned them such weapons, and they really had nowhere to spend their money. ”

These weapons are all big swords and spears that are made, and each of them is a real good iron, which is the Tang Dynasty, and now there is not so much money to dare to equip every government soldier with good weapons.

However, Li Hedong, the king of Chu, was able to do so, this matter was too strange.

If you want to say that Li Hedong is rich, it is unlikely.

In the land of Jingchu, the climate is not particularly good, and because of the mountainous area, the transportation is inconvenient, the trade is not very developed, and the economy is not prosperous.

But Qin Tian also knew very well that it was probably because of these blades that the King of Chu dared to take the opportunity to rebel, otherwise he would not dare to borrow a few of his courage.

"Master Hou, why don't you call those rebels who surrendered and ask what's going on?" Qin Wu suddenly remembered those rebels who had surrendered, Qin Tian nodded, and soon, a rebel was brought up.

"Where did you get these blades?"

Being asked this question by Qin Tian, the rebels felt a little strange, but they still hurriedly responded: "Master Hou, these are all distributed to us by the King of Chu. ”

"Does everyone have it?"

"That's right, everyone has it, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses on the Jingzhou side are also equipped with good blades."

Qin Tian's expression moved slightly, and he asked again, "Where did King Chu get these blades from?" ”

"It's not clear to this subordinate."

The matter of the king of Chu building a blade behind his back was very hidden, and it was normal for ordinary rebels not to know, Qin Tian did not ask, and after nodding, he let the rebel retreat.

Everyone stood in the big tent, looking at each other, all helpless.

Here, Qin Tian said after a while: "Okay, don't care about him in advance, in today's battle, we have destroyed almost half of the rebels, and there are still 5,000 rebels in the city, we must now think of a strategy to break the enemy." ”

They must break the city as soon as possible, only by breaking the city gate can they pacify the rebels as soon as possible, and besides, Qin Tian also needs the command of this time.

It's just that after Qin Tian said this, none of the people could come up with a way, most of them were military generals, let them kill the enemy, let them be military advisors to give advice, but it was difficult.

Seeing this, Qin Tian's expression moved slightly, and he said, "Isn't anyone willing to stand up and talk about it?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and at this time, Luo Huang stood up: "Master Hou, my subordinates have a word." ”

Since Luo Huang followed Qin Tian, he has been very low-key on weekdays, after all, he knows his previous identity, so he doesn't dare to be too public, so that although he is known for his strategy, he is not known by others.

However, when he saw Qin Tian asking today, he also had the courage to stand up.

Seeing that it was Luo Huang, Qin Tian did not have the slightest contempt, and said: "Okay, Luo Huang, you can say whatever you have, if the method is good and can solve this matter, you will be Benhou's military advisor in the future." ”

Hearing that it was directly a military advisor, Luo Huang was a little flattered, he used to be a bandit, and he robbed the food of the imperial court, and it was already very good not to be killed, but now Qin Tian is still like this to himself, which makes him very moved.

After settling down, Luo Huang said: "Master Hou, judging from what Han Yi has done today, he is probably just a person who does not learn and has no skills, he has little ability, and he is a little arrogant, it must be very uncomfortable to do things under such a person, maybe there are people below him who are oppressed by Han Yi, and these people used to be officials of my Tang Dynasty, if you can sneak into the city, win over these people, and then cooperate with such people, then it is not difficult to break Dangyang City." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Huang said again: "Master Hou, my subordinates are willing to sneak into Dangyang City and help Master Hou persuade such a person to make meritorious contributions to Hou Ye's breakthrough of the city." ”
